Kate Foster is an exceptional writer and masterful storyteller' - Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal
Inspired by the infamous real-life case of Maggie Dickson, The Mourning Necklace is an unforgettable historical novel from Women's Prize-longlisted author, Kate Foster.
They said I would swing for the crime and I did . . . Surely, they can't hang me twice?
Whether Maggie bribed the hangman or has been touched by God matters little now. What matters is proving her innocence - before she is hanged again . . .

'Riveting . . . the tension persists until the last page' - The Times on The Maiden
'Enthralling, compelling and at times chilling . . . An utterly timely tale' - D. V. Bishop, prize-winning author of Ritual of Fire, on The King's Witches
